The image shows a person standing upright. Their head is slightly tilted downwards, gazing at the ground or the object they are holding. Their facial features are not detailed, and their hair is mostly covered by a wide-brimmed hat. The individual wears a long-sleeved garment, a long skirt, and flat shoes. They hold a spindle wrapped with fibers in their right hand. The background features gentle hills and grazing animals, likely sheep or goats, giving a rural setting. The artwork is textured, with lines creating depth in the figure and landscape.
